{
  position: "left",
  height: "100%",
  width: "300px",
  startOpen: true,
  closeable: true,
  autoclose: false,
  autocloseDelay: 5000,
  clickOutsideToClose: true,
  minClosedSize: 0,
  toggleButton: "",
  embed: false,
  navigationItemWidth: "50px",
  navigationItemHeight: "50px",
  navigationOffsetX: "0px",
  navigationOffsetY: "0px",
  animations: {
    replace: "crossfade 0.5s ease-in-out",
    toggle: "slide 0.5s ease",
  },
  listeners: {
    beforeOpen: function(panel) {},
    afterOpen: function(panel) {},
    berforeClose: function(panel) {},
    afterClose: function(panel) {},
    beforeToggle: function(oldContent, newContent) {}
